Irrespective if you go past Geelong, and buy acreage it will cost much less than anywhere equivalently closer to Melbourne. Geelong is a satellite city and comparison's of cost of land and housing don't stack up. What costs a million bucks here and is a tear down will cost half that in some of the suburbs like Norlane and Corio which are much more suburban than the regional new builds you touch on.

Like I said many years ago, when we got pinged document shredder sales went through the roof in Sleepy Hollow.

It's one of those football truisms that you shouldn't flirt with form, but I guess the flip side is that you are still compelled to select a team that gives you the best chance of winning. Richmond for all money look like they are on the wane, and their injury list is significant. I wonder if Pittonet would be a better match up for Nankervis, and whether the club may experiment with using De Koning as a part onballer / part ruck. He plays a little like Matthew Kreuzer, and against a struggling team we may get away with a little experimentation. It may become a weapon that we can deploy in the future.
I wonder if Cincotta would be a good match up for Martin.

He would be another option. I guess Tim Taranto would be another prime mover for them.

Cincotta could go to Tarranto maybe?
Re: AFL Rd 16 2024 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Richmond - LP - 06-25-2024
Given Dusty probably spends most time forward, who gets him, Boyd, Newman? Dusty has lost of bit of pace in recent seasons, but he is still a bull at stoppages and you need someone with strength, Cincotta is my first thought with a mandate to run off Dusty at every opportunity. If a stay at home is preferred then Newman.
You could go with Cincotta at the other end to do a negating forward type job on Rioli who always causes us problems.
Lynch out throws a spanner in the works, it makes them a touch harder to predict, would they go two ruck against us?
Noah Balta always causes us a few problems.

Yes, I find it hard to get a read on Dusty. Has father time caught up with him, has he basically checked out ? The last thing we need is for him to pull out one more game for the ages. This game is at the MCG, so there's sure to be plenty of Tiger fans.
